| Roedde House - Vancouver |
| Activity:
A glimpse of Vancouver's past...Roedde House is a restored late-Victorian
home, in the heart of Vancouver's "West End". The Roedde House
offers guided tours for individuals or groups, public programs (such as
concert and lecture series), and school tours.
Roedde house was built for Gustav and Mathilda Roedde in 1893. Its design is attributed to the early B.C. architect Francis M. Rattenbury, notable for the Legislative Buildings and the Empress Hotel in Victoria. The style of the house is "Queen Anne revival", notable for its cupola, bay windows, upstairs porch, and downstairs verandah. Details: Roedde House is located at 1415 Barclay Street in Barclay Heritage Square (bounded by Barclay, Nicola, Haro and Broughton Streets), a unique parksite that includes nine historic houses dating from 1890 to 1908, retained in their original settings. The square, conveniently situated midway between the downtown core and Stanley Park, is a pleasant 6-block walk from Granville and Robson Streets. Tours are held on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Sundays of the month, 2 pm to 4 pm, or at 2 pm, Tuesday through Friday. Group tours are available by appointment. The cost is $4 for weekday tours and $5 for Sunday tours, which include tea. For more information call (604) 684-7040. Website: www.roeddehouse.org Area:Vancouver Season:All seasons |
